Multiple Choice
1. A Graduate Nurse Has Been Hired As A Nurse At A Local Hospital. The New
Nurse Is In The Honeymoon Phase Of Role Transition When Making Which Of The
Following Statements?
A. “I Am So Nervous About Being On My Own As A Nurse.”
B. “This Will Be A Great Learning Experience.”
C. “I Can’t Wait To Have A Steady Paycheck.”
D. “This Job Is Perfect. I Can Finally Do Things My Own Way.”
Answer: D
The Honeymoon Phase Is When The Student Nurse Sees The World Of Nursing As
Quite Rosy. Often, The New Graduate Is Fascinated With The Thrill Of Arriving In
The Profession. Reality Shock Occurs When One Moves Into The Workforce After
Several Years Of Educational Preparation. Recovery And Resolution Occur When
The Graduate Nurse Is Able To Laugh At Encountered Situations. During This Time,
Tension Decreases, Perception Increases, And The Nurse Is Able To Grow As A
Person.

2. Which Of The Following Actions By The Graduate Nurse Is An Inappropriate
Methodology To Recover From Reality Shock?
A. Networking C. Returning To School
B. Obtaining A Mentor D. Joining A Support Group
Answer: C
, The Transition Period Is Successfully Managed When The Graduate Is Able To
Evaluate The Work Situation Objectively And Predict Effectively The Actions And
Reactions Of Other Staff. Nurturing The Ability To See Humor In A Situation May Be A
First Step. Returning To School Is A Positive Step After The Graduate Has Worked
Through Role Transition, Has Some Clinical Experience, And Is Ready To Focus On A
New Career Objective. Networking, Obtaining A Mentor, And Joining A Support
Group Would Give The Graduate Nurse An Opportunity To Talk To Others
Experiencing The Stress Associated With Reality Shock. The Nurse Would Benefit
From ‘Talking Through’ Issues And Learning How To Cope.
